382 382 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting April 12, 1962 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chamber, City Hall The meeting was called to order with Mayor Pro-tem Perry presiding. Roll call: Present: Councilmen Armstrong, Shanks, White, Mayor Pro-tem Perry Absent: Mayor Palmer Present also: Reuben Rountree, Jr., Acting City Manager; Doren R. Eskew, City Attorney; Robert A. Miles, Chief of Police MR. ROBERT ZABEL appeared before the Council and suggested that in order to provide more parking spaces that the space at the end of each street be reserved for parking foreign cars. The City Attorney explained this would be against the State Law as there were uniform regulations that 20 feet from the intersections had to be kept clear. Mr. Zabel asked that the islands around town not be covered with cement but be planted with flowers or grass. The Acting City Manager, Mr. Reuben Rountree, Jr., stated to use the cement reduced the maintenance cost. Mr. Zabel asked the Council to reconsider their action of a few weeks ago establishing 30' width for paving of East 45½ Street. He stated the people did not want the trees cut down. Councilman Shanks inquired if the City could put a collar around the trees. Mr. Rountree explained that one tree would be completely in the street and it had been the policy of the City to remove all trees in the streets for traffic safety. MR. BOW WILLIAMS asked that something be done about 24th Street as the traffic was very heavy. Mr. Rountree stated this was being worked on and was in the future plan. The Council took this under study. MR. JOT HODGES asked permission to have a non-stop caravan parade Saturday, April 14th at 4:00 P.M. He asked that they be permitted to go in a caravan down Congress Avenue from the Capitol to Zilker Park. He stated there would be 3 buses and about 50 cars and it would be for a political rally. The Council discussed at length the policy of permitting this type of parade. It was brought out that in the past it had been the policy not to grant these requests except for national candidates. Objections to this type of parade were traffic safety, inconvience to the public, and shortage of police personnel to handle them. Also this would be setting a precedent and every candidate for office would have the same right. Mr. Hodges asked the Council not to consider this as an individual request but to establish a policy. Mayor Perry felt the _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS > 3 383 City Manager should make a study of this before a policy was set. After discussion, Councilman Armstrong moved that due to the changing complection of Austin, that any group be permitted to move down Congress Avenue with their lights on. Councilman Shanks moved that Councilman Armstrong's motion be amended to deny the request for the parade. Roll call on the amended motion to deny the request for the parade but to permit any group to move down Congress Avenue in a caravan with their lights on showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Armstrong, Shanks Noes: Councilman White, Mayor Pro-tem Perry Absent: Mayor Palmer Mayor Perry announced that the motion had failed to carry for lack of a majority and he asked that a study be made. MR. M. L. MCGEE, 2212 Willow Street, appeared and protested charges for garbage collection. He did not want the charge to be the same for every one as some people had more garbage to be collected than others. It was explained to Mr. McGee that the charges had not been set and the Council was still making a study of this. Mayor Pro-tem Perry read a telegram from Mayor Palmer; Mr. W. T. Williams, Jr., City Manager and Mr. Norman Barker, Finance Director, as follows: "Had wonderful reception at credit rating services. All have high regard for Austin and itss administration. Meetings with Bankers on other aspects of city business were encouraging. Will miss being with all of you at Council Meeting but will be in Austin, Texas, Friday."
